@@gibsonlife573 Definitely an over built axle, I think the built in link riser looks cleaner, but I do see your point about having a replaceable one, much easier to just swap it out in the event screw breaks off in there!

@@gibsonlife573 Yeah lots of competitors these days, but there is something awesome about the SCX24. It is the truck that ignited the current micro crawler movement after all! Thanks for your comment 👍

Thank you very much sir!

@@oknights112 Thanks mate, much appreciated and thanks for your comment!

@@shawnrichardson118 No worries mate! I have two of these little motors now running off the Dinky RC D-Drive Micro Sport 25amp ESC's and while there is definitely better motors out there this is the only one that I know of that directly replaces a brushed 050 motor! Thanks for your comment!

Much appreciated, thanks for your comment!

@@joepilimai4604 Which FCX24m did you go with? They come in a few wheelbases and may not be a straight swap like this was! Thanks for watching!

The power wagon. 132mm I think axle to axle. If it’s not a pure fit I can tinker with the best of em and am not worried about needing a few extra parts.

Fair enough, this vehicle is built on the FCX24m platform, which is different to the FCX24 Power Wagon. The "m" version is smaller and has a ton of compatibility with the SCX24, the transmission/skid bolts right up with no mods! The original FCX24 Power Wagon won't bolt straight up.

@@havikhobbies good to know but I am willing to give it a go....looking forward to the challenge and if it becomes too much I will "have" to buy a fcx24m, my wife will understand....sorta LOL

😂 That's the way!

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

@@tomwright943 Thanks mate! I'm stoked with how the build turned out, it's so much fun! Thanks for your comment 👍

@@havikhobbies No worries bud, I've built an SCX24 crawling oriented version, yours looks like it's more fun than mine. I have a question about the front links...... are they a couple of mm longer than the SCX24 front links? I'm only going from memory (as I don't have mine to hand) but your front wheels look so much better in relation to your arches👍

@tomwright943 This truck has about the same wheelbase as an SCX24 C10 but the front and rear links look about equal length where as the C10 has shorter links up front. So yes the front axle does end up pushed forward slightly.

@@havikhobbies that's awesome, thanks for the reply, I'm seriously considering doing similar to what you have done there, thanks for the inspiration too👍

No problem mate!

@@rcplaytime Thanks mate! Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Durp, it's been a fun build and it's even more fun to drive! Thanks for hanging out mate!

@@wvlfkvnt Yeah fair enough, I set mine up with 2mm bullet connectors so it's plug and play. This little motor definitely works better In lighter builds, it's no torque monster. I have a slightly modified deadbolt here in the fleet I might be able to swap it into for testing! Thanks for your comment 👍

@@havikhobbies dropped a sub for ya. Nice channel. 👊

@@wvlfkvnt Well thanks mate! I do appreciate it 🤜

I just got done editing the video, just have to make a thumbnail and should have it up in the next couple of days! Thanks for your comment! EDIT: Change of plans, the video is NOW live!

Thanks! This little rig is a blast, hopefully I'll get the chance to share some more soon!

@@ecj272 Nice! Which SCX24 did you go with? It's a lot of fun to build indoor courses out of random household items!

Got the Blue Gladiator, was on sale for $99. I use to own the Axial Wraith had loads of fun with that rig and will have the SCX6 Jeep delivered in the next few days as well. As a side note, I've been out of the hobby for several years and have decided to jump back in, in a big way(no pun intended) both with the scx24 and the scx6 and time along with finances will tell where it'll take me this time around🤞🏼

Wow that's awesome, two great rigs! I had been out of the hobby for many years also and it was the SCX24 that got me interested again. Also wish I didn't sell my Wraith!

I think it's a hobby park screw for the SCX24 from Amazon if I recall correctly, it's been a minute!

@@kyleduncan2648 Thanks mate, much appreciated. These little buggies are a ton of fun!

I feel like the Dinky RC or a Furitek Lizard Pro on sale is pretty much the best bang for the buck. If your on a super tight budget, I'd probably just stick to one of the many awesome brushed motors available!

@@edwinheld3772 No problems mate! I'm glad I could help out 👍

@@JamesDirtRC Yep you can do that and it does work ok from my limited testing, my biggest problem when trying that was that eventually some of the air would squish out and you have a flat tire, them you have to unscrew the rin to let the air back in!

@@skipmiller8309 Both motors are great, I know I wasn't comparing apples to apples however some people like videos that help them decide between apples and oranges! Thanks for your comment 👍

@@havikhobbies It was very helpful and informative. The run video was great. People can really see how each one handles slow and fast. Nice Job!

Thanks mate I appreciate the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

@@dadada435 Yeah the controller isn't great, but the motor is gold! I bought another one for a different project! Thanks for your comment 👍

@@shawnrichardson118 Nice! Glad you liked the video, and thanks for the sub 👍

@@jakeshaffer7572 Sure you can, I have several of these set up to turn lights on/off with one of the spare channels, you do need to use an RX controlled switch to power the lights though. Something like this works great! www.ebay.com/itm/156225552111?itmmeta=01J3Y2VYHC50G1E6XZ0EZS2W1R&hash=item245fc4beef:g:8WAAAOSwvv5mUi8S

@@johndeesfpv9289 No problem mate!

@@stunod-RC 😂

@@cyberspyder6123 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for your comment 👍

The TRX4M is easier to work on, the Bronco can be quite capable with some mods and HobbyTown stores often have lots of upgrades and spares. The FCX18 has a better slow crawl right out of the box but it's a bit tall/tippy without mods. Both are fun and capable of trailing and crawling. I'd pick the one that looks better to you!

I've never had that issue, but thanks for the heads up 👍

@@chuddledollops Thanks! The little monster truck is an SCX24 C10 with a Mofo RC Tijacker titanium chassis and Mofo RC Monster truck wheels/tires 👍

Yeah it's a pretty decent option, if you want to stick with stock esc! Thanks for your comment!

I agree mate, simple, fun with loads of upgrade options! Thanks for your comment!

@@IceWollowNut I just made them out of stuff I had lying around the workshop, the video wasn't intended to be a buyers guide but rather to show how I went about things and hopefully give some ideas. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

Thank you!

@@Oldynotgoody73 No problem, Thanks for watching!

Haha thanks mate!

That's true, these little guys are space savers for sure!

Yes I've been waiting for as scx24 transmission with a rear drive disconnect! That would be epic!

Depending on how much overdrive, and if your driving on higher traction surfaces the drive train will definitely bind a little loading the motor up. You could take the front drive shafts out and drive it on a flat surface to see if that's the culprit. Thanks for watching!

Thanks mate! Yeah it's definitely a setup that could be useful for some trucks, mainly when space is a concern and you need an ultra compact brushless motor. It actually crawls very well, I'm impressed with it!

@@havikhobbies still easy to find at that sub $50 price too.

Yeah I'd imagine they will clear them all out at that price because the system was not a good seller!

No problem mate!
